Teams: The Giants and Patriots are among the teams expected to attend. Long-Term: If his knee checks out, Beckham should have no trouble securing a lucrative multi-year deal. 2021: Before sustaining the injury, the 3x Pro Bowler was performing at a high level with the Rams. Image: Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire Jets [Chuck Clark] Jets trade for S Chuck Clark, cut WR Braxton Berrios Clark: The Jets [acquired]( Clark from the Ravens for a 2024 seventh-round pick. Profile: Clark, who turns 28 next month, started 63 games over his six years in Baltimore. He totaled 101 tackles, 4 pass deflections, and 1 forced fumble in 2022 (66.0 PFF grade). Fit: Clark figures to replace impending free agent Lamarcus Joyner (57.0 PFF grade) in the starting lineup. Berrios: The release of Berrios will save the team $5 million in cap space. The 27-year-old caught just 18 passes for 145 yards last season. - The Jets will need to continue clearing cap space to accommodate Aaron Rodgers’ contract. - The team is [optimistic]( the 39-year-old will eventually sign off on the highly anticipated trade. Image: Robin Alam/Icon Sportswire Giants [Gabe Davis] The Giants have ‘poked around’ the WR trade market Details: The insight comes from Pat Leonard (NY Daily News), who writes that the [receiver]( position is a “front-burner priority” for the Giants. Next Step: GM Joe Schoen believes that Daniel Jones — who will be making $82 over the next two seasons — can take the next step as a passer if he is surrounded by more pass-catching talent. - Receivers under contract for the Giants in 2023 include Wan’Dale Robinson (23-227-1), Isaiah Hodgins (33-351-4), and Colin Johnson (0 catches in 2022). Davis: Leonard writes that Schoen and Brian Daboll have a “high affinity” for Gabe Davis — who was drafted by Schoen and played under Daboll in Buffalo. - Davis is entering the final year of his rookie contract and does not seem positioned for an extension with the Bills. No Hopkins: Leonard doesn’t expect the Giants to explore a trade for DeAndre Hopkins, as Schoen prefers younger, less expensive players. Image: Nick Tre. Smith/Icon Sportswire Thomas [Michael Thomas] Saints and Michael Thomas progressing toward a new contract Details: Nick Underhill (NewOrleans.Football) is reporting that the Saints have made “[progress](” in contract negotiations with Thomas. - Thomas’ current deal is too rich for the Saints, with cap hits of $13.6 million in 2023 and $59.4 million in 2024. - If a new deal isn’t struck by March 17, the Saints will release the 30-year-old receiver. Carr: Thomas — who at one point seemed certain to leave New Orleans — is [excited]( about the prospect of playing with new QB Derek Carr. Impressive: Before suffering a season-ending toe injury in Week 3 last season, Thomas ranked 12th among receivers in PFF receiving grade (77.4), first in contested catches (8), and was tied for second in touchdown receptions (2). Depth: If Thomas does return and can stay healthy, he’d form a dangerous receiver duo with 2022 first-rounder Chris Olave (72-1,042-4). Image: Stephen Lew/Icon Sportswire Vikings [Za'Darius Smith] Vikings News: Za’Darius Smith, Adam Thielen, Dalvin Cook Za'Darius Smith: Smith has [asked]( the Vikings for his release. According to multiple reports, the team does not have immediate plans to honor his request. - It’s unclear why Smith no longer wants to be in Minnesota. - The 30-year-old totaled 44 tackles, 10 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, and 24 QB hits across 16 games last season. Adam Thielen: According to Adam Schefter, there’s a “real possibility” the Vikings will “[part ways](” with Thielen in the coming days. - The 32-year-old caught 70 passes for 716 yards and 6 touchdowns last season. - If released, Thielen could look to team up with his friend Aaron Rodgers. Dalvin Cook: According to SKOR North’s Darren Wolfson, the Vikings have received a [trade offer]( for Cook. The interested team was not revealed. Image: Nick Wosika/Icon Sportswire Chargers [Michael Mayer] Daniel Popper: The Chargers are looking to add a TE Details: Popper (The Athletic) adds that the team is [targeting]( a “well-rounded player who can affect the game as a run blocker and pass catcher.” - He expects Kellen Moore’s offensive scheme to feature a lot of 12 personnel (two tight end sets). Free Agent Options: The top free agent tight end is Dalton Schultz, who was coached by Moore in Dallas. Other options include Mike Gesicki, Hayden Hurst, Austin Hooper, and Foster Moreau. - While the Chargers might make an offer on Schultz, they won’t be able to out-bid teams with more cap space. - The Chargers are currently $6.9 million over the salary cap. Draft Options: With limited financial means, the team may opt to address the position through the draft. As many as six tight ends could go in the first two rounds — Michael Mayer (Notre Dame), Dalton Kincaid (Utah), Darnell Washington (Georgia), Luke Musgrave (Oregon State), Tucker Kraft (South Dakota State), and Sam LaPorta (Iowa).
